Texas SB 155

[The BN Guy]

A few years ago the state passed SB 155 which took away our ability to go off-highway on state property that was not forbidden. One of the number one locations for many OHV people was a place known as the Slabs. It was all granite and sand from granite. Many other locations were taken away - many had been visited by some for more than thirty years.

Now there is a petition to repeal SB 155. Please consider signing this petition. Even if your not from Texas.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner but I just signed it. I loved going to the Slab. I used to fish down there a bunch. I didn't know about the law revoking our privelage to drive on it.

It actually kicked us out of several locations. The slabs was just one of the most well known areas.

For such a big state, Texas sure seems to have limited amounts of public land.
